Chapter 1397

“Okay, I’ll get Claus to go and buy you some food and bring it over, ” Jared said as he took his phone out and called Claus.

Nicole helplessly watched as Jared made the phone call. ‘What should I do?’

[I suddenly remembered that I have something very important to do. Can you bring my computer here?]

Nicole quickly typed on her phone and showed it to Jared.

“You’re all injured! How can you think about work?” Jared asked, his face brimming with disapproval and concern.

[My face may have been wounded, but my hands are fine. If you don’t help me out, I’ll have to go and get it myself.]

Nicole gestured as if to get out of bed, threatening Jared.

“Don’t move. I’ll go.’ Jared looked at Nicole, unable to disagree and resist her. “But if I go back now, I might not be able to accompany you tonight. I can only bring the computer to you tomorrow.”

Jared felt a little disappointed at the thought that he could not stay with Nicole for the night.

[It’s okay. I don’t want you staying here with me anyway, or I won’t be able to rest well. You should get some sleep at home, not here.]

Jared looked at Nicole, ‘I know that her work is important, but it seems that she’s just looking for an excuse to get me out of here so that I won’t feel uncomfortable.’

“There’s no rush then. I’ll go after you finish dinner.” Jared looked at the time.

[Okay.]

“Did Martin tell you when you will be able to speak?” Jared asked, feeling that it would be too cumbersome for Nicole to type out her words whenever she wished to communicate.

[It should be soon. Do you feel weird that you can’t hear my voice?]

“Yeah, and if it’s possible, I’d want to hear your voice right now.” Jared looked at Nicole, expressing his wish Nicole looked him in the eye and smiled, after which Claus knocked on the door and came in with a bag of takeaway in his hands.

“Mr. Johnson, I’ve brought you dinner,” Claus said, looking at Jared.

“Bring it over.” Jared raised the compartment table for Nicole, whereupon Claus placed the takeaway on the table in front of Nicole and respectfully left.

Jared took the boxes of food out of the bag, before looking at Nicole and asking, “Which one would you like to eat first?”

Nicole looked at what she wanted to eat, with Jared tracking her gaze. Then, he grabbed the dish she liked and fed it to her.

Nicole opened her mouth slowly. ‘This seems a little romantic. If I hadn’t faked it, I wouldn’t have come to know how sweet he can be. He instantly knew what I wanted just by looking me in the eye. Ah, he knows me too well.’

Jared was crestfallen, but for some reason, he felt that Nicole had been looking at him with soft, gentle eyes.

‘This silly girl. She’s gotten hurt so badly, and yet, she can find it in herself to care about these little things.’

“Are you tired?” Jared asked after he was done feeding Nicole.

Nicole nodded and silently prayed that he would leave as soon as possible. ‘I won’t be able to pretend any longer if he keeps this up.’

“You should get some rest, then. I will get your computer and see you tomorrow. Try and have a good sleep tonight.”

Nicole nodded.
